Abstract:Background: Preparing the nursing workforce to meet the challenges of an ageing population is a priority for many countries. The development of an Older Person's Nurse Fellowship (OPNF) programme for senior clinical nurses is an important innovation. Objectives: This article describes the philosophical development, delivery and early evaluation of the OPNF. Design: In 2014, Health Education England funded 24 senior clinical nurses to participate in the OPNF. The Fellowship was designed to build clinical leadership and innovation capability and develop a network of nurses to influence local and national strategy for older people's care. The Fellows selected were drawn from mental health (n = 4), community/primary care (n = 9) and acute care (n = 11). The twelve month programme consisted of two Masters-level modules, delivered through study days and e-learning. The first cohort (n = 12) commenced the course in November 2014 with a module designed to enhance clinical knowledge and skills. Methods: Evaluation data were collected from the first cohort using anonymous surveys (n = 11) and focus group interviews (n = 9). Descriptive statistics are presented for the quantitative data and common themes are described in the qualitative data. Results: The overall satisfaction with the clinical module was high with a median score of 18/20 (range 17-20). Topics such as comprehensive geriatric assessment, frailty, pharmacology and cognitive assessment were regarded as highly relevant and most likely to result in a change to clinical practice. In the focus group interviews students discussed their learning experience in terms of: module specificity, peer-to-peer learning and using the OPNF as leverage for change. Conclusions: The OPNF is a timely innovation and a positive commitment to developing an academic pathway for senior nurses. It marks an important step in the future development of the older person's nursing workforce.
